The Nocturnal City

When: April 8, 2024 | 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM ET
Where: Initiative on Cities Seminar Room, 75 Bay State Road

Join us for a discussion on the relationship between the city and nocturnal spaces, exploring cultural and social experiences in urban night contexts. The event will feature Derek Pardue, Associate Professor of Aarhus University, Denmark, who will share insights on cultural encounters and music-making in urban night spaces from his new book project, Feeling Dusk. Following the presentation, a panel of experts – including the City of Boston’s Director of Nightlife Economy, Corean Reynolds, and Co-Founder of Sounds in the City, Daniel Steele – will join Derek for a broader discussion on urban nightlife ecosystems.

Jacqueline (Lin) Georgis, a BU Postdoctoral Scholar and ethnomusicologist with the CAS Society of Fellows, will moderate the discussion.
